With the site

I get a dialog with the message:

You have chosen to open
index.aspx
which is a: aspx File (19.4 KB)
from http://www.folgers.com

What should Firefox do with this file?

It does not indicate the mime type indicated in this bug.  So I am not
sure if it is the same bug or a separate bug.

Title:
  Firefox 8 User Agent String "Ubuntu;" addition causes
  "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml" download

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The patch added by Chris Coulson in the FF 8 packages to add "Ubutnu;"
  to FireFox's User Agent string has caused some sites to start offering
  a download of a "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml" file.

  This change seems to have caused an issue with 51degrees.com's .NET
  Mobile Framework. Visiting a site that uses the framework now prompts
  to download an "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml" file.

  Obviously, this is likely the fault of the framework, and not Ubuntu.
  But I felt it should be logged, and I could not find any launchpad bug
  regarding this change.

  The User Agent changed from:

  > Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101
  Firefox/7.0.1

  to

  > Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101
  Firefox/8.0
